[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They mostly have their mom post a go fund me type message on social media for them. The girls don’t seem to do any work. [/quote]

I won’t buy from links because that’s the mom selling, not the girl. The one time I did, it was because the Girl Scout had a couple of very effective video sales pitches. [/quote]

I have a Brownie and I don't like online sales either. The [b]organization encourages online sales by offering badges specifically for that[/b] (making a video, emailing, social media) but of course most are too young to have email and social media. Mine writes her own video script; I distribute the link because she can't but I assure my friends they don't need to buy.

I love Girl Scouts, and fundraising is necessary to make it happen. We definitely appreciate those who buy cookies, regardless of how or where. [/quote]

This.  The last two years they actually specifically issued guidance strongly encouraging online only due to Covid.  Yes, it becomes kind of a sham since most young kids don't have a social media presence.  Even before Covid, most girls I know got the majority of their sales from family or the parent taking the form to work for co-workers to purchase.  My daughter doesn't go door-to-door but I do have her deliver the cookies and thank the person who purchased.  She has an email account so I also have her email thank you's to family and friends who purchase online.  It's not quite the same as face to face sales, but it does put some work on her.
